<p>If you can afford Duke, I would go to Duke. After all, you are more likely to thrive in an environment that suits your needs. I wouldn’t consider you to be spoilt for choosing Duke over your other options. Investing in education is not the same as going out and splurging on a sports car. Your decision will have repercussions for your entire career. Go to Duke, and work really hard, so that you never have to regret your decision.</p>
